Carboxytherapy

Carboxytherapy Carboxytherapy is a treatment that uses carbon dioxide in controlled doses to treat a number of aesthetic conditions. It was first discovered in 1946 in France, when physicians noticed that patients with circulation problems improved in carbon dioxide rich thermal waters of Royat. The indications for this therapy have extended since then from treating medical problems to its application in aesthetic medicine as an effective treatment for stretch marks, cellulite, localized fat deposits, scars, hair loss, overall improving skin laxity, wrinkles and dark circle under the eyes.

Carbon Dioxide is a naturally occurring gas that the body produces as a by-product of respiration and cellular metabolism. As such, it is safe to use, in fact it is used extensively in medicine every day, such as in colonoscopy and laparoscopic surgery. Carbone Dioxide has no toxicity even in elevated doses.

As a result of aging we may have decreased blood flow and oxygen delivery to the tissues. When Carbon Dioxide is injected into the treated area, your body detects a lack of oxygen in that area and reacts by dilating your capillaries thereby improving blood flow and oxygen delivery. This stimulates fat cell and scar tissue break down while collagen production is stimulated. The procedure uses a small needle to infuse the Carbon Dioxide gas under the skin, it usually requires a series of treatments for optimal results and there is no downtime.
